  Hello. Welcome to the No Guy Coach
• 0:02
  Hollow for January 23rd, 2026. I missed
• 0:06
  you. I've been out of town for a while
• 0:08
  doing work in uh the former Eastern
• 0:11
  block and uh it's good to be back. So,
• 0:14
  welcome to today's huddle, a twominute
• 0:16
  call from God's playbook to know him
• 0:18
  better so we can love and obey him more.
• 0:20
  Today's play comes from Matthew 23. It
• 0:23
  says, "So whatever they tell you, take
• 0:25
  care to do it, but don't do what they do
• 0:27
  because they talk but don't act.
• 0:29
  Likewise, you appear to people from the
• 0:31
  outside to be good and honest, but
• 0:33
  inwardly you're full of hypocrisy and
• 0:36
  far from the Torah." Jesus doesn't mince
• 0:39
  words in Matthew 23. He looks at
• 0:41
  religious men, men who knew scripture,
• 0:44
  men who taught scripture, and he says
• 0:46
  something devastating. They talk, but
• 0:48
  they don't act. They place heavy burdens
• 0:51
  on others, but don't lift a finger to
• 0:52
  help. On the outside, they look
• 0:54
  religious, but on the inside, they're
• 0:56
  full of hypocrisy. That warning isn't
• 0:58
  just for the Pharisees, it's for us. Our
• 1:01
  wives see it first. Our children see it
• 1:03
  next. They know whether the Jesus we
• 1:06
  talk about on Sunday is the Lord we
• 1:08
  actually obey during the week. Scripture
• 1:10
  says even demons believe in God. Belief
• 1:13
  alone doesn't prove anything. Obedience
• 1:15
  does. It's not hard to be good by the
• 1:18
  world's standards. Don't steal. Don't
• 1:20
  murder. Don't offend anyone. But Jesus
• 1:23
  never called men to simply avoid
• 1:25
  wrongdoing. He called us to follow him.
• 1:28
  Doing proves faith. Avoiding evil
• 1:31
  doesn't. Jesus commands us to seek and
• 1:33
  save the lost, to make disciples, to
• 1:35
  forgive our enemies, to bless those who
• 1:37
  curse us, to give generously, to serve
• 1:40
  sacrificially, and to love relentlessly.
• 1:43
  When those commands shape our daily
• 1:45
  lives consistently and intentionally,
• 1:47
  that's when faith becomes visible.
• 1:50
  Hypocrisy isn't failing. Hypocrisy is
• 1:52
  claiming allegiance to Jesus while
• 1:55
  refusing obedience to Jesus. Look at
• 1:58
  Christ himself. He didn't isolate from
• 2:00
  sinners to stay pure. Entered broken
• 2:03
  lives without sinning. He served people,
• 2:05
  healed people, loved people, and through
• 2:07
  that service, he opened hearts to
• 2:09
  repentance. He obeyed the father fully
• 2:11
  so he could save us completely. And
• 2:14
  that's our model. We love people by
• 2:16
  serving people. Service authenticates
• 2:19
  the message. Obedience gives credibility
• 2:21
  to our confession. Fruit proves the
• 2:24
  root. Run today's play. Ask yourself,
• 2:27
  does my life reinforce what I believe or
• 2:30
  does it contradict it? Men of God don't
• 2:32
  just speak truth. They walk it. They
• 2:34
  model it and they multiply it. That's
• 2:36
  not hypocrisy. That's disciplehip. If
• 2:39
  this huddle helps you know God better so
• 2:41
  you can love and obey him more, leave a
• 2:43
  quick review and share it with a friend.
